Club tour using public transportation

[Super Flanker]

Hi I visited FKK World total about 10 days per year since 2010 now.

My typical day 1 is 1) arrive at FRA airport 2) check in a hotel near frankfurt Hbf 3) go to FKK World.

I have 2 questions.

Q1) Sometime ago, I found ticket price was same (13. 5EUR) for "FRA airport == Giessen" and "Frankfurt Hbf== Giessen".

Since then, I just bought ticket to Giessen at the airport to save about 4 EUR of "FRA airport== Frankfurt Hbf".

I usually took about 1-2 hour layover at Hbf for checking in a hotel etc.

So far there was no issue when train conductor checked my ticket on a train between frankfurt hbf to giessen.

I just got lucky? Should I buy 2 separete tickets ("FRA airport== Giessen" and "Frankfurt Hbf== Giessen") in this case?

Q2) It was only one time but I took express train (IC) from Frankfurt Hbf to Giessen when I only had cheapest 13. 5 EUR ticket.

Taking IC is nothing special for saving time as it takes same 40min from the Hbf to Giessen, same as a regional train (RE).

A conductor checked my ticket at that time and there was no problem at all. Again, I got juct lucky?

As already mentioned Acapulco can be reached fairly easily by public transport from Dusseldorf, although the last leg of the journey must be made by bus or taxi. The return journey however becomes more and more problematical the later you leave in the evening.

The cost of the journey from Dusseldorf is exactly the same as that from Dusseldorf to Living Room; that is Price Level B.

One option if you get up early enough is to obtain a day ticket Price Level B in Dusseldorf and head out to Acapulco to be there in time to benefit from the reduced price entry.

Enjoy the day and if you still need more travel back to Dusseldorf and then onto to Living Room that evening using the same day ticket for public transport.

Get up even earlier and you can make a side trip to Wuppertal and take a ride on the western half of the Schwebebahn; which I must say is pretty cool.

Thanks for the rental link. Very nice. Could even splurge and get a Porsche 911 for US$ 1200 for 3 days, to go 250 KM / h on the Autobahn (careful, you might die and miss the good pussy). I am not necessarily always cheap, if the surcharge is worth it. A Porsche on the autobahn certainly is an experience. But dangerous to the uninitiated. But actually any decent German car gets you to 220 km/h

Would be great to get actual links and quotes from hotels and stuff. I looked at booking. De. Cheapest hotels in Munich is 99 Euro. Is there a simple booking site for cheap skate? I know there are CHEAP hotels near the main station. Probably 40 Euro I would guess.

Here is how to get to Acapulco from Düsseldorf main station in exactly an hour, by train. Not even a bus is needed. Public transport allows you to read the news on your Android, instead of bothering with driving safety. I hate driving, love bicycling, and love to sit in nice transportation without having to drive. Well, too cheap to get a driver. Taxi at low rates for a few miles of course is a good option. But would like to avoid paying 80 Euros to a taxi if I can take public transport in an hour.

Well, I like to sleep early, so finding a bus at 3 am is not my typical thing.

To me the big game changer is getting the entire schedule, with timing, from bahn. De. Figuring out buses on your own would be a pain. Oh, and for android / iphone, a copy and paste application is needed for easy use of your phone for finding places. Also recommend Evernote to get all your notes written on the computer and accessible on the phone.

Question: which FKK allows you to SLEEP over there for free or for a fee? Which one has a cheap hotel next to it?

Acapulco is very easily accessed from Dusseldorf by public transport. You can do the journey in less than an hour and a half. Pleasant countryside to admire along the way too, and an opportunity to see more than the highway.

If costs are the issue, then choose a hotel in the city centre of Dusseldorf which includes a free VRR transport ticket for the duration of your stay. This ticket covers all bus, tram, underground, and trains with the exception of ICE throughout the VRR area (look it up). Although not quite stretching to Cologne, most of the popular NRW clubs are accessible FOC transport wise.

Take Acapulco for instance, great club but its in an area that's not the easiest to reach by train

You might find cheap hotels in downtown dusseldorf but you've got to get your ass over to Velbert, not an easy task.

If your going to use public transportation, some clubs should be left off the list for this reason.

It is good to exchange ideas. The rail pass invites to the opposite strategy:

Go one day to one FKK. Take a train to the other end of Germany and sleep on the way. Next night go back to the first place if you still have issues to solve. Or really go to a different place every day. Also I probably will do 1 day FKK, one day biking or hiking or going to tourist stops, next day FKK again or so. The rail pass just gives me maximum flexibility. But I might be sorry if I want to stay at one place for 3 days.

You get a rental car for 89 per WEEK? Tell me more.

Tell more about car rentals, cheap hotel stays, and cheap train tickets. How exactly do you get cheap train tickets? How do you get cheap housing? Any android app for cheap hotels (I want my OWN room, but as cheap and simple as possible.) And probably in a good location, near the FKK. And easy reservation. Can you get places for how much? Starting 30 Euro? An app for hotel reservation with gps data and bus data to get you there by bus easily would be great. Youth hostels are an option? No, I am not youthful any more and don't want to share bunk beds.

There also is a Germany or Europe ticket with xx days within 2 months. Like 7 days in 2 months.

Here's a problem with using public transportation, the cheap hotels aren't next to the clubs. Take Acapulco for instance, great club but its in an area that's not the easiest to reach by train and the hotels are all higher (50e and up) priced. If you have a car there's hotels to the north for around 20 euro's a night (breakfast extra). You might find cheap hotels in downtown dusseldorf but you've got to get your ass over to Velbert, not an easy task. And then some of the hottest girls show up and you've got to leave to catch the last train back to your hotel. A car gives you more flexibility and allows you to maximize your time spent at a club. Time is money even if I'm on holiday. I don't want to travel halfway around the world and spend my time standing waiting for a bus. If your going to use public transportation, some clubs should be left off the list for this reason.

As to getting a cheap rental, I used Kemwel. Com this time around. I punched in my dates, selected the lowest class of car (free upgrade with kemwel) and hit 'buy it now'. Up comes the rental agency. Luckily for me it was Avis, had it been thrifty or budget I'd have 'issues'.

I find the best tool out there is a computer and google, using your phone's internet isn't as good. I use booking. De to research hotels, get the hotels own website if they have one and see if they have special offers (booking. De won't show you those). You'll find many hotels reward you with lower rates the longer you stay, free Sunday's with a weekend booking at some. I'll go to google maps and zoom in on the area I'll be in and type in "hotel" into the search field and all the hotels pop up.

The 'savings' of doing a public transportation tour is not spending that much money on trains. A car rental and gas costs about half that amount and you don't have to wait for bus's, take taxi's. My car rental is 89 euro's per week, I'm guessing I'll spend close to 150 euro's in gas. Car doesn't have wifi but I can roll my window down and stick my head out and no conductor will run up to me yelling for me to shut it. Joking here. The idea of doing a public transportation tour, at least my idea, was to spend several days at each club and then moving on to the next. Find a hotel nearby and try to save on other expenses. If you prepay for select tickets a month in advance, you'll see a ticket from say frankfurt to berlin for 29 euro's. Few days after you arrive you might find a ticket to Hamburg for 19 euro's. Few days after that, well, you get the drift. Your club hopping and paying less than 150 euro's and your going from one part of the country to the next. Berlin to Dusseldorf to Frankfurt to Munich. You can even go first class if that's what you want to do.

My idea on a club tour was saving money by doing long distances at a cheap price that a car would never be able to match but you'd have to spend several days in each city.

[Breadman]

If you get there in 50 minutes by public transport, why would one want to rent a car? Takes you much longer then that to check out a car.

I am planning a public transport German sex tour end of May most of June, will buy a Eurail pass valid for 2-3 weeks.

Around 900 dollars for first class travel all over Europe! And cheapskates save on lodging sleeping overnight on some trains. Get yourself a steel safety net to tie down your luggage, or the valuables of your luggage, while you sleep.

Should have one.

@ Brazil Specialist: Well done sir! I have been traveling to Frankfurt & the NRW for three years now and have always relied on the public transit. The Germans are quite effecient. Almost. On one trip to Bernd's I relied on my itinerary for my times. Unfortunately there was a rare time error made on the itinerary: I wound up leaving Bernd's too late to make my first train back to Frankfurt. The ticket was correct, there was just this difference on the printout. I check a little closer now.

I'll be making my 5th trip this June and have relied heavily on DB. Not using a rail pass, I find for longer trips a terrific discount is achieved when you book 3 or more days in advance.

Enjoy your trip. I intend to enjoy mine!

Myr.

I just checked a few places via the German Bundesbahn site (

www.bahn.de

).

It tells you ALL you need. When the train leaves, where to change, when the bus leaves, where to get out and a map of how to walk there and how many minutes to walk.

Here an English link to Friedrichsdorf, Ober-Erlenbacher Straße 109, which FKK is that one?

There is also a German rail pass for less money. Contact me if you want to join. Add to that Wifi on most first class express trains, and bicycle rentals at many stations, my trip is set. Computer work, bicycling, doing some scenic train routes, even sleep on train, visit FKK and other brothels, stop over in Vienna or Prage, maybe. What more can one wish.

Oh, I am tired of fully dressed girls in Brazil, want to see them naked in Germany. Guess if I asked where else you can see great young decently priced girls naked (Prague?) would be too far off topic?

The easiest clubs to reach through public transport in my experience:

Golden Time: Train to Kaldenkirchen where there is busses (can't remember the number) that take you to the busstop Tierpark. Come to thin of it, this is usually a terrible connection and you're better off taken a cab from Boisheim, Breyell or Kaldenkirchen (if you can find one). The train goes between Venlo (NL) and Duesseldorf Hbf and also calls at Neuss Hbf, Viersen and MonchenGladbach Hbf.

Enjoy!

In case you don't find any taxi waiting at the Kaldenkirchen station, go to the telephone booth, there you can find the telephone number of a nearby taxi, they speak English and they know where the GT is. The cost is around 17 Euros.

[Mhansen1]

Sorry, sorry. The bus to Lichtenberg from Hennef is 522.

http://www.vrsinfo.de/fileadmin/Date..._Linie_522.pdf

And NOT 322.

[Mhansen1]

From the center of Cologne, like Hauotbahnhof, take S12 S-bahn to Hennef (Sieg) , and then bus 322 to Lichtenberg (2nd or 3rd stop after the bus leaves the main road). Remember to buy the return ticket to Lichtenberg, then the train ticket is also valid for the bus.

Last bus back from Bernds is 23. 5? (I cannot remember the exact time.

It takes a 7 mins walk from the busstop to the club.

I hope some others will start to use the bus, before they will cancel all the late buses, as there have been very few passengers, the last few times I took the bus back to Cologne.

Indeed we will!

Great post, Free Dude.

[Big30]

Must have switches those numbers around.

No problem FD, great job "goed gedaan jochie!"

Actually all Tram and the only Metro line in BO start with the digit 3!

In NRW, PHG and VV: not easy accessible by public transport. But it is do-able if you know the details.

Golden Dreams (Schüttorf (Niedersachsen), by train relatively easy accessible. Train to Bad Bentheim. Last 5km Taxi or call the owner of GD!

[Free Dude]

The line from Bochum Hbf to Freude is Number 306, actually

Must have switches those numbers around.

Thanks for the correction!
